Equipment for November's Demonstration

Our next event on Wednesday 19th November is a demonstration by Mrs Wynne on how to create the perfect Christmas table decoration. This will be a hands-on session. If you would like to follow along, could you please bring the following:

• Greenery

• Oasis

• A suitable saucer to hold the oasis

• Scissors

If you wish, you can also bring Christmas baubles, small decorations, etc.

Of course, you're quite welcome to just watch the demonstration without taking part.

We look forward to seeing you on 19th November.
